Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A foldable screen electronic device, comprising: a housing; a display disposed on the housing; a cavity formed by the housing and the display; a middle frame provided with a middle frame hole penetrating the middle frame; a screen chip; a screen outlet line disposed on a first side of the middle frame and connected to one end of the display; a battery disposed on a second side of the middle frame, wherein the first side of the middle frame faces towards the display, and wherein the second side of the middle frame faces away from the display; and a reinforcement member disposed between the screen chip and the battery; wherein the middle frame, the screen chip, the screen outlet line and the battery are disposed in the cavity; wherein a surface of the screen outlet line is located between the display and the middle frame, wherein the surface of the screen outlet line is part of the screen outlet line that is bent along a direction from the display to a back of the foldable screen electronic device and is located between the display and the middle frame; wherein the screen chip is disposed on the surface of the screen outlet line and is located between the display and the battery; wherein a protruding structure formed by the screen chip relative to the surface of the screen outlet line is located in the middle frame hole, and a protruding height of the protruding structure is less than a depth of the middle frame hole; and wherein the reinforcement member is fastened around the middle frame hole and is configured to prevent the screen chip from being in contact with the battery when the screen chip sinks due to applied force.

2

2. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 1, further comprising: a flat cable disposed in the cavity; wherein one end of the flat cable extends to a third side of the surface, the screen chip is disposed on the third side of the surface, a thickness of one end of the flat cable is less than or equal to a thickness of the screen chip, and one end of the flat cable is located in the middle frame hole.

3

3. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 2, wherein a size of the middle frame hole is greater than a size that is enclosed by one end of the screen chip and the flat cable.

4

4. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 1, wherein the reinforcement member comprises a bottom edge, a skirt edge, and a middle edge; and wherein the skirt edge is connected to the bottom edge by the middle edge to form a groove structure, wherein the groove structure is configured to accommodate the screen chip.

5

5. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 4, wherein the skirt edge is located between the middle frame and the surface of the screen outlet line, and the skirt edge is fastened around the middle frame hole and on the first side of the middle frame; and wherein the bottom edge is located on a fourth side of the middle frame hole, the fourth side of the middle frame hole is close to the battery; and wherein a vertical distance between the bottom edge and the skirt edge is less than a thickness of the middle frame.

6

6. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 4, wherein a clamping slot for fastening the skirt edge is disposed on the middle frame, the clamping slot is located around the middle frame hole and is close to the surface; and wherein a depth of the clamping slot is greater than a thickness of the skirt edge.

7

7. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 6, wherein a first notch and a second notch for accommodating a contact area are disposed on the skirt edge, and the contact area is an area that is formed by contact between one end of the flat cable and the surface of the screen outlet line.

8

8. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 6, wherein a first stamping area and a second stamping area that are used to accommodate a contact area are disposed on the skirt edge, and the contact area is an area that is formed by contact between an extension end of the flat cable and the surface of the screen outlet line.

9

9. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 8, wherein a vertical distance between the first stamping area and the bottom edge is less than a vertical distance between the skirt edge and the bottom edge, and a vertical distance between the second stamping area and the bottom edge is less than the vertical distance between the skirt edge and the bottom edge.

10

10. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 1, wherein the screen chip comprises a first screen chip and a second screen chip that are sequentially disposed on the surface of the screen outlet line; and wherein a size of the middle frame hole is greater than a size that is enclosed by the first screen chip and the second screen chip, and wherein the middle frame hole is configured to accommodate the first screen chip and the second screen chip.

11

11. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 10, wherein the middle frame hole comprises a first middle frame hole and a second middle frame hole; wherein the first middle frame hole is used to accommodate the first screen chip; and wherein the second middle frame hole is used to accommodate the second screen chip.

12

12. The foldable screen electronic device of claim 11, wherein the reinforcement member comprises a first reinforcement member and a second reinforcement member; wherein the first reinforcement member is located between the first screen chip and the battery, and the first reinforcement member is configured to prevent the first screen chip from being in contact with the battery when the first screen chip sinks due to applied force; and wherein the second reinforcement member is located between the second screen chip and the battery, and the second reinforcement member is configured to prevent the second screen chip from being in contact with the battery when the second screen chip sinks due to applied force.
